This comprehensive, one-day “hands-on” advanced course is designed to assist law enforcement officers with the growing trend in the use of fraudulent driver licenses. In 2016 the US Dept of Homeland Security identified 16 different U.S. driver licenses produced overseas that are considered HIGH QUALITY COUNTERFEITS. This course will focus in on those 16 states. These authentic-looking “modern day” credentials that are available online have compromised nearly every security feature on their ID’s making them virtually “undetectable” and more sophisticated than “ID Chief” counterfeits of a few years ago. This course will instruct law enforcement officers the proper ID protocol to detect/identify these fraudulent ID’s from all 16 states. Officers will be able to handle genuine and counterfeit ID’s side by side for comparison. Instruction will include methods to detect counterfeit driver licenses from all 50 states as well as International Driving Permits, and Mexican ID’S. Special instruction includes how to detect the latest intel in altered driver licenses. Instruction will include appropriate 2C statutes. The course materials are updated weekly to include the latest counterfeit Drivers Licenses. The course materials include a free UV light, magnifier and reference guide, and “cheat sheets” to recognize counterfeit licenses from New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York and one additional cheat sheet of the state your choice.

In serving the community, police officers are often the first point of contact for victims and witnesses of crime. The care and response to these individuals can greatly impact the outcome of an investigation, the legal process and how the community feels about law enforcement.
In this training we will review helpful guidelines in responding to victims of crime, trauma and appropriate referrals for victims. This training is not a basic introduction to services, but rather a secondary more in-depth training to offer officers understanding of symptoms of traumatic response, vicarious trauma and secondary trauma. We will review indicators and helpful responses in cases when an officer is responding to a victim and/or witness who has experienced a traumatic event. Furthermore, we will review the impact of vicarious trauma in the field of law enforcement.
